Novel hybrid scheme speeds the way to simulating nuclear reactions on quantum computers - EurekAlert


The interactions of protons and neutrons can be too complex to model using conventional computers and quantum computers face reliability issues. This research combined conventional computers and quantum computers to simulate the scattering of two neutrons. This opens a path to computing nuclear reaction rates for situations that are difficult or impossible to measure in a laboratory.
